She graduated from McGavock High School in 1977 where she enjoyed being a halftime dancer. Leah was a very active mother to her two sons and Gigi to her grandkids. She enjoyed Oakland Raiders football, fishing, being on the lake, Harley Davidson, shopping and spoiling her kids and grandkids. She was queen of arts & crafts, making piñatas and loved Starbucks, but most of all she loved spending time with her family. Whether she was cooking breakfast for one of them to pop in, attending one of her grandkids many sporting events, cooking a spread of dishes for a family gathering or discussing the next Jordans that were about to drop, Leah loved doing anything that involved her family.
